The story of Ford Focus

The story of Ford Focus started in 1998 when Ford Motor Company thought about manufacturing a performance full-swing compact car that could sound reasonable and practical, at least for the biggest chunk of the market, the mid-tier.

The company began selling the car in Europe starting from July 1998, then North America followed in 1999.

13 years after its inauguration, Ford Focus at last was capable of reaching its main aim by surpassing Toyota Corolla to become the world’s most selling automobile. Which is a great achievement.

There are three generations of Focus. The first one which lived for 7 years, from 1998 to 2005, the second generation stayed for 6 years afterwards until 2011, and then came the third generation.

The vehicle reached its peak sales value in US in 2000 when 286,166 models were sold. Sales dropped a little bit in 2007 to hit 173,213, but then rebounded to regain its brisk in 2012 and reach 245,922 models.

Rallying and sports

The car made its debut in automotive circuits in 1999 in Monte Carlo Rally. Driven by Colin McRae and Simon Jean-Joseph, the car was capable of setting many fastest stage times.

The car continued on achieving a number of notable positions by different drivers until it was replaced by the Fiesta in 2011.

A great legacy still in the make, the new generation of Focus is awaited to hit even higher sales than 2000 thanks to its redefined motor capabilities and facelift.
